Chapter 161 - 152: Four Heavenly Kings Hidden on Darkened Walls
There really was a face. Maybe it was because the flames didn't burn thoroughly or maybe the paint above after having melted flowed down and covered the image prevented it from ruin, but either way, beneath the tip of Xie Lian's finger was certainly a small, half a human face. He started to carefully scratch away that solidified black material, and Pei Ming commented while holding his very swollen left hand, "Your Highness is that fascinated in some mural?"
"It's not fascination," Xie Lian replied, "But I have a daring idea."
"Let's hear it." Pei Ming said.
"Since we've obtained this rare chance of coming to Mount TongLu, other than stopping the potential Ghost King, perhaps we can also seek the source of their origin? For example, who created them, and what kind of power is supporting this? Perhaps we may even destroy it in one strike, rid the world of this disaster for good, and never worry for another Ghost King to be born."
"That really is a daring thought." Pei Ming said, "But, if Hua Chengzhu hasn't found anything out, then we'll probably end up wasting even more time on it. Under the current circumstances, I don't recommend doing so."
However, Hua Cheng spoke up, "I didn't find anything out because my talents are dull, and my abilities are limited. Besides, at the time I was too busy killing. If gege is to take lead on this investigation then the results will be different."
"No, no, no. I'm the one whose abilities are limited. San Lang is much more capable than me." Xie Lian said.
"..."
Like he couldn't listen anymore, Pei Ming tossed Pei Su over to Ban Yue and turned to walk out, "I think I'm gonna go out for some fresh air."
Over on this side, it actually wasn't difficult for Xie Lian to brush off a few pieces of those black hardened substances and he blinked, "These can actually be..."
This layer of seemingly burnt black, hardened material could actually be peeled off in large pieces!
